Congratulations to Jade Mclean-Inglis on winning the Julie Linton Award for Outstanding Achievement
At this years conference, MTI were delighted to present the first annual Julie Linton Award for Outstanding Achievement to Jade Mclean-Inglis
Jade showed resilience in meeting a personal challenge. She is dyslexic and found that learning the APP through online lessons didn’t suit her learning style. She came up with a plan to digest the content in a way that worked for her, meaning a lot of self-study. She had great success with this approach, gaining 80% in her APP exam. The Board recognised the level of self-responsibility and determination Jade showed and felt that overcoming a learning challenge would have resonated strongly with Julie and what she valued in massage training.?
The board would also like to congratulate runner up, Jennie Walbank. Jennie showed a great level of care towards her fellow students, being willing to be there for them and support them, without sacrificing her own learning. The Board said: “Your commitment to helping your fellow students is inspiring. That is something that meant a lot to Julie and we know she would have appreciated hearing your story.”
Applications will open again in April 2026. You can read more about the award here.

We are delighted to announce the Julie Linton Award for Ourstanding Achievement
MTI are delighted to annouce the Julie Linton Award for Ourstanding Achievement.
Julie Linton worked tirelessly to raise and maintain excellent professional standards within the massage profession. She did this in many ways including through her own work as a therapist, as a tutor and as member of the MTI Board. She was always eager to learn and to improve and be the best she could be, while encouraging others to be that also. Her way of working embraced the MTI ethos of celebrating the individual and was always inclusive without compromising standards.
The MTI Board wants to celebrate and honour her contribution to the profession by annually awarding an MTI member the Julie Linton Award for Outstanding Achievement.
